Bucks County Chapter Dinner Meeting

Wednesday - September 16th, 2026

Presentation by: Chris Noone, PE - Langan Engineering

Topic: Data Centers & Environmental Compliance 

Mr. Noone will discuss the impact Data Centers have on the environment and how responsible parties manage those conditions. 

Chris will highlight the significant growth in this sector since the advent of Artificial Intelligence which uses much more computing power per query than a standard browser search. The US dominates the market where 45% of centers are located as of January 2025. 

Data Centers:

• Currently have a presence in Virginia, California & Texas with new projects in construction in TX, GA, VA & PA

• Require different permit strategies for each locality based upon the design strategy

• Will experience huge future growth where 70% will be supporting AI workloads in 2030

The Presentation will:

• Bring awareness to environmental requirements associated with data centers

• Bring compliance to the forefront and encourage proactive planning and permitting strategies

• Provide insights into unique problem-solving experiences and explore data center-specific challenges
